I cant code python, just interested. what kind of data do you have and what kind of signals do you want? Bitcoin is a pretty unique asset-class, not sure what kind of signals might be appropriate..

Keep the "leader of your local council" in the loop, let them know about this situation (because it IS wrong). It might all be resolved in due course and could provide a good learning experience for all involved, provided they have good intentions.

You should still be on your guard, though, there are plenty of crooks out there - have a look on internet about "Filipino nannies in China" and you will see that many of them who end up as abused slaves come to china under circumstances IDENTICAL to your own (some even pay for the privilege). So take care, do your own research on the administration and legal side of things, and if you have to err, err on the side of safety. I suppose you were hoping to just come and "start work on monday" and "paycheck on friday" but there's much more to it when you're a migrant.

You should contact your embassy and register with them. Just so they know where you are, in case of emergency in China or at home. All the embassy's maintain a list of their citizens, but not many people actually register.

@yankee00 & @lawlz0mg

too quick on the draw, guys.

Totally agree with you both that a number of people are abusing the system and giving the rest of us a bad rep, but there are also plenty of victims that get tricked into coming here and then end up in a bad situation.

@Amylaura,

with a tourist visa, you have permission to be a tourist. Everything else is illegal. Breaking the law erodes your rights, for example your insurance may become invalid, and you can be picked up by the police and deported without even time to say goodbye to friends. Your work contract, if you have one, is also invalid.
You have no legal obligation whatsoever to the "solicitor", agent, school. You don't have the right to form such an obligation. You also have no moral obligation (neither do they).

Did they charge you money for "arranging a job in china"?

Ive smoked pure tobacco in a villiage in turkey. I was drunk at the time but thats not why i puked.

the farmers take it in from the fields in cars, tuktuks, bikes, lorries, horseback, whatever. The schoolyard is covered with black plastic and the raw tobacco is spread out on it. Some sections are mixed with fruit, to be used for shisha pipesmoking. Anyhow, its not really dry before all the kids come and walk all over it. Up and down they walk, all day long, trampling and mixing the tobacco. An utterly disgusting stench rises and its everywhere. I think, it must be possible to smell this shit from miles away. Well, many of the 'real men', myself included, smoked it while its still moist. Using bits of coal to keep it burning. The coal enters the lungs as vapour but inside it crystallizes - after a few years smoking arabic pipes i had to quit, HAD to, because of the coal in my lungs. Well, i only saw the harvesting process once but the one thing that sticks in my mind is the kids feet. Surely they must be discoloured for the rest of their lives. Maybe even stinking raw tobacco for a lifetime, i dont know.

Then there's the social element. disclose.tv had a great show about a drug called crocodile which is methodically destroying some russian border towns, and everyone in them. Even in that case I could'nt distinguish any justification for legal OR SOCIAL persecution of the users. In the russian case, they were their own dealers, manufacturing the drug themselves according to recipies found on facebook and ingredients bought OTC at 24 hour pharmacies. So indeed, what to do? Suggest to start by seeing the users, ALL of them, as victims. ?

Hfcampo over and over tries to insinuate that being addicted to something is a choice that an individual makes. And a further implication is that the addict continues to decide to be addicted on an ongoing basis.

I dont think thats correct at all. Nobody ever decided 'im gonna try to be a junkie/chainsmoker/alco/obese'. Nobody. But how to formulate another counterargument escapes me at the minute. There are various opinons on whether the tendency to be addicted is genetic. However i think hfcampos post adequately describes why nicotine addiction is not (just) genetic, but also chemical. So on the one hand we have the chemical element (treat all drugs as poisons, and the addicts as victims) and on the other hand we have the physiological/psychological element (treat addicts as mentally/physically allergic to a 'harmless' substance). In neither of these arguments can i see a case for legal OR SOCIAL persecution of users. Dealers, however, including cigarette companies, knowingly expose substances to the public, in full knowledge that their profits generate hardship yet contribute absoloutely nothing to society. Except tax dollars and a need for rehabilitation.

you should see puerto rico :)

american gothic was a fantastic tv show, 90's i think. great fun and entertainment, as well as a latent, intelligent philosophical proposal. sheriff calebs proposal was, more or less, everyone is guilty.

therefore...tolerance.

yapp, agreed. can't force someone to be free. i think id need to be high before i could continue down that line of thought :)

Friendly staff and good service, food and prices are ok. No complaints but its nothing special either, and not worth a visit unless you live closeby.

Nice atmosphere and cosy but the western food is bad. I think they deep-fry the burgers. As a cafe - 4 stars (service is a little bit lacking at times), coffee and cakes etc are good. As a restaurant, 2 stars (western food is too bad, asian food is mamahuhu).

"All the Meat" only had about 3 slices of salami on it, so maybe i got the wrong order. Anyway, leaving that aside - soggy bread, ketchup as tomatosauce, and cheese was probably from a tube.
Potato wedges soggy as well.
I left half my meal, the only thing up to scratch was the coke and the service. Will not be back.

If the name of the shop is written in english then they should speak english, yes! A pokey shithole trying to give the impression of a quaint li'l ole bookshop. Pig-ignorant staff, never been greeted with a smile there, nor even greeted. If you must shop here, bring your own bag. 1 star earned for selection and the (for me) convenient location.
